I just checked all of these PBI's and they properly placed the
desktop and menu shortcuts when installed via the AppCafe. I did
discover that the openoffice shortcuts were not working, and I have
fixed them in svn. If you use the pbi_add command from a terminal to
install a PBI, it does not place the desktop and menu shortcuts by
default, you have to add them via the AppCafe afterwords.<br>

The messages were because of a special feature for GNOME to
recognize "Trusted" desktop shortcuts, and pressing the "Mark as
trusted" option returns the desktop shortcut back to its original
appearance and functionality. I have discovered that each DE has its
own little quirks that you just need to get used to (such as this
one). That is why I am so pleased to be able to let the user select
the DE of their choice now, so that you can avoid (as much as
possible) learning the quirks of a new DE just to use PCBSD.<br>

I am glad that you are pleased with PCBSD. We are attempting to make
it easy to use and minimize the amount of terminal time needed so
that a computer-illiterate person can use it easily. I have gotten a
number of people I know to switch over to it, most of those being
computer users who don't even realize there is such a thing as a
terminal, so I think we are getting to that point gradually, but
there is always more to do.<br>

As to this error, I just installed the GNOME desktop to test
it. I found that installing PBI's via the AppCafe worked
flawlessly, with both desktop icon and menu icon in the
appropriate place and functional. What PBI did you install
that did not have a menu icon, but did have a desktop icon?
I ask this because some programs do not have either Menu or
Desktop icons, but if there is a desktop icon there should
be a corresponding menu entry as well. If there is one but
not the other, let me know and I can fix that for the PBI.<br>
<br>
Trashing desktop icons:<br>
I found that GNOME was unable to restore the desktop icon
after trashing with the error: "Could not determine original
location of '(desktop entry)' ". <br>
However, by dragging the icon from the trash back to the
desktop and running it, I was given the warning that is was
an untrusted application and choices to launch anyway, Mark
as trusted, or cancel. By launching anyway, the program
started without a problem. Marking it as trusted simply
returned the icon to its original look on the desktop, and
it started normally when running it after that.<br>
<br>
Instead of dragging the desktop icon from the trash back to
the desktop, I also tried re-installing the desktop icon by
right clicking on the application in the AppCafe and
selecting "Install Desktop Icons". This replaced the icon on
the desktop without a problem and the icon worked just fine
as well.<br>
<br>
So in other words, I was unable to duplicate your error with
the GNOME desktop and the desktop icons/menu entries. If you
have some additional information to try and nail down when
this error happened, I will try to reproduce/fix it here.<br>
<br>
Thanks for the report!
